Jan Maxwell is a perfect human.

Earlier tonight I went to Seth Rudetsky's Broadway Chatterbox at Don't Tell Mama. It's basically just him interviewing Broadway people. The guest tonight was Jan Maxwell, who is currently playing Phyllis in Follies. She is my favorite part of Follies. The interview was perfect. Seth is hilarious and it turns out that she is too. They discussed her life and career. She was full of great stories. She is the Meryl Streep of Broadway in that she's so modest and is just like I don't know, I just do things. She didn't graduate from college. She has no acting method. She said she respects everyone (in the business) and reveres no one. It's sort of hard to coherently explain how awesome that interview was and how fucking great she is. Going to that was definitely an excellent life choice.
